My theory on Valve's "plan"

[Asuka]

I have created a theory concerning HL2 and its release.

Gabe isnt stupid to make his PW 'gaben' so obviously he made it that on purpose.

Gabe asks someone to post that gold date / Gabe knows someone will eventually find out the PW and its a coincidence that they post about the 'gold' stuff

As soon as its posted, it creates hype.

Going smoothly along Valve's plan, since the IP is not from Valve, people eventually come out with a result of "this is a hoax"

Valve refuses to answer any emails because they are planning something big.

The 2nd test appears. It has 1 or 2 purposes: To distract the community while they prepare for the 'big' event / Because at the end of the test, the community finds something out - as soon as they found out, Valve lets the fans know about their 'big' event.

The 'big' event occurs, the fans are shocked and surprised.



What do you guys think? Add anything on if you want.

Interesting.

Well some people use their name as a password

*slowly clicks "Change password"*

People who use their name as a password are retarded. Don't you know anything about computers or the internet?

My name by itself is never a password...I do interesting things with my name And I use a special password for secure sites.

Sorry to say, but your "theory" doesn't hold any "water."

Glad to see someone being optimistic around here....but in all honesty I highly doubt this.

Well, I must say, your optimism is an inspiration to us all. :thumbs:

If by "an inspiration to us all" you mean "an absolutely deluded attempt to rationalize the stupidity of what happened" I agree.
